My site says: URL:Phishing (proactivesurvivor.com)
« on: October 09, 2020, 11:12:37 PM »
Why is Avast saying my site is URL:Phishing?

Can you please help me fix this? My website is proactivesurvivor.com

Thanks,
Jordon

Whilst this isn't a definitive answer, that can only come from Avast.

Low Risk - https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/proactivesurvivor.com - However it does report being 'Unable to scan the page. Page has a redirect loop.'  I have no idea if this could be an issue or not.

You might want to consider the points raised here,  https://webhint.io/scanner/b28933e4-049c-4bca-9084-2753f9c26bf5

Especially those related to security - and doesn't support HTTPS.

Reporting Possible False Positive File or Website - https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php - this goes directly to the Avast Virus Labs.

So what is the best plan for me to take at this point in time with the info you have given me?

I don't know if point point by point is the best approach as many of those points (in the second link) relate to not having HTTPS support on the site.  I would start by speaking to your Web Host about points raised and securing the site supporting HTTPS. 

Also look at Hardening Improvements mentioned in the first link, all of those points have links to help with this.

It is a very long time since I did any web site development and that predates many of the issues reported.
